Huckabee has received a lot of votes since he left the race. I voted for him in Kentucky. I'm so glad my first president, the first president I voted for, was Mike Huckabee. Wow! Hope to tell my grandkids. God Bless, JPC Mike Huckabee

I think we’re going to find out what the media does if Mike Huckabee is named the running mate. Because if he isn’t, try saying “President Obama!”

While I respect Mike Huckabee for his principled stances, the problem with him as VP is what the in-the-tank-for-any-democrat MSM will do with Huckabee as a VP choice–they will paint him as a mouth-breathing evangelical theocrat and try to leverage him as a balance to Obama’s Jeremiah Wright problems. Unfair and inaccurate? Yes, but isn’t that a fair and accurate description of the MSM? In the end, Huckabee can secure the conservative evangelical vote for McCain, but due to how he will be represented by the MSM, it will play negatively to the swing voters of independents and conservative-leaning democrats. Bottom Line: due to the MSM, Huckabee will produce a net negative of votes for McCain.

John McCain should choose Mike Huckabee for five reasons. First, they work well together. Second, they agree on fundamental issues, such as the need to restore fiscal sanity in the government. Third, McCain is not a good debater, and will need someone who can out-talk Obama in the Presidential debates. Fourth, Huckabee has extensive executive experience, and will be able to take over immediately if needed. And finally, there is no way that McCain will be elected the next President unless Huckabee is on that ticket!

Mike Huckabee has three strong points. He is an excellent campainer. He wll help McCain bring the Social Conservatives into his camp. And he appeals to the working Republicans and Democrates i.e. he isn’t a “Country Club” Republican which will not sell this year.

I voted for Mike Huckabee and I don’t want him to be selected by McCain to serve as VP!

I like Huckabee far too much for him to get stained by a RINO like McCain.

As a “social conservative” who got tossed aside by the GOP elites and was taken for granted by them, my suggestions for Veep candidates are, in no particular order:

o Romney. Everybody’s screaming about the economy. He’s the finance guy.

o Lieberman. Pull in all the “centrist” libs, independents, and disaffected Hilary voters.

o Condi Rice. She has numerous excellent attributes and would be a terrific VP.

Then McCain has to hope that a lot of social conservatives don’t sit this one out and will go out and vote for him because he won’t do as much damage to this country as Obama would.

McCain is clearly going to need help in the south and with the evangelical vote. Mike’s 10 1/2 years of political chief executive experience, consistent stand on moral values, his appeal to youth and black voters, and his grassroots support would be a major asset to McCain. McCain would be insane not to pick Huckabee as his VP.

Being a voter for Mike in NC it was wonderful to go out and cast my vote for him yesterday. Mike received 238 votes for my county alone and over 60,000 votes in NC!!! There were over 4700 No Preference votes and I truly believe that if Mike would have been actively campaigning he would have taken NC! He’s still in this race because the voices of the people are saying that they prefer Mike by their votes.
